Dans la région de Caserte, la culture du kaki possède plus d’un siècle d’histoire. Dans ces zones, on trouve encore de nombreux vergers traditionnels composés de variétés historiques telles que Kaki Vaniglia, « Ukakis » et les soi disant « Lignasante ». Au cours des dernières décennies, la variété « Rojo Brillante » s’est également largement diffusée. Cette variété, à chair ferme et astringente au moment de la récolte, est aujourd’hui très connue sur le plan commercial. Il s’agit d’une culture qui représente pleinement le territoire et sa vocation agricole. Toutefois, cette forte tradition n’a pas toujours été accompagnée d’une évolution des techniques agronomiques de culture. Dans de nombreux cas, les vergers ont conservé des structures établies selon des critères désormais dépassés, avec des arbres qui ont progressivement développé une masse ligneuse importante mais dont la capacité productive s’est réduite avec le temps. Lors d’une visite technique dans la région de Caserte, l...

En el territorio de Grisì, en la provincia de Palermo, la olivicultura representa un elemento identitario sólido, vinculado a variedades como “Nocellara del Belìce”, “Biancolilla”, “Cerasuola” y “Giarraffa”, además de un patrimonio paisajístico de gran valor. Sin embargo, muchas plantaciones tradicionales presentan limitaciones estructurales: troncos excesivamente altos, acumulación de masa leñosa, producción desplazada hacia las extremidades y ciclos de poda drástica cada dos o tres años que generan desequilibrios recurrentes. La intervención propuesta por el Agrónomo Vito Vitelli se basa en un principio técnico preciso: interrumpir el ciclo de exceso de madera, corte drástico y nueva vigorosidad mediante una poda suave y progresiva. No se trata de intervenciones traumáticas alternadas con largos periodos de abandono, sino de una recuperación gradual a lo largo de dos o tres años. El primer paso consiste en el vaciado interno de la copa, eliminando la corona excesiva e introducien...

In the Grisì area, in the province of Palermo, olive growing represents a strong element of local identity, closely linked to cultivars such as Nocellara del Belìce, Biancolilla, Cerasuola, and Giarraffa, as well as to a landscape heritage of significant value. However, many traditional groves show structural limitations: excessively tall trunks, accumulation of woody mass, production shifted toward the outer canopy, and cycles of severe topping every two or three years that generate recurring imbalances. The intervention proposed by Agronomist Vito Vitelli is based on a clear technical principle: interrupting the cycle of excessive wood growth, drastic cutting, and renewed vigor through soft and progressive pruning. Rather than traumatic interventions followed by long periods of neglect, the approach promotes a gradual recovery process over a period of two to three years. The first step involves thinning the interior of the canopy, removing excess crown density and introducing s...

In the Caserta area, the cultivation of persimmon has a history spanning more than a century. In these territories, numerous traditional orchards are still present, composed of historic varieties such as Kaki Vaniglia , “Ukakis,” and the so-called “Lignasante.” In recent decades, the variety “Rojo Brillante” has also become widespread. This cultivar has firm flesh that is astringent at harvest and is now well known from a commercial standpoint. Persimmon cultivation fully represents the territory and its strong agricultural vocation. However, this deep-rooted tradition has not always been accompanied by a parallel evolution in agronomic cultivation techniques. In many cases, orchards have remained structured according to now outdated criteria, with trees that over time have developed a significant woody mass but a progressively reduced productive capacity. During a technical visit to the Caserta area, Agronomist Vito Vitelli observed an orchard about twenty years old that exhibited...
